The USMC is being downsized to about 170,000 Troops due to budget cuts.
The US Army is also downsizing due to the same budget pressures.
Is there a new need for the US Army to conduct Operations with the US Navy?
Should the USMC be concerned about the Army getting its nose under their Tent?
Could the Marines actually find some benefit to the Army taking over some of the traditional Marine Missions that require large numbers of Troops, Armored Vehicles and the like....leaving the Marines to do the Quick Reaction Missions they excel in performing?
I am sure there are Army Generals that would like to see the end of the US Marines.....as there have been many in the past who both advocated just that and went to some lengths to convince Congress to do just that.
